Not sure if AROS coming or not..

Hi everyone,

The new commercial Amiga game, Tales of Gorluth, was delivered to me by the postman today! :)

Suddenly on Sunday July 20th (yesterday), my wife's mother died of a heart attack in Tokyo. I will have to pause all the blogs for a while while we grieve, travel to Japan, sort out funeral arrangements and attend.

Hopefully I will be back on deck soon. There is plenty of blog catch up reading from the last 2 years of entries in the meantime..

Four is a nice, round number. Power of 2, not too many, not too less. You know, four is referring to many good things, like: the Fantastic Four, 4th of July, AmigaOS4, The Magnificent Four... Err.. Maybe not that, scratch that last one.

Therefore, without further ado, here is Beta #4:

It's been a while since I posted to my blog, but that doesn't mean I haven't been very busy over the past six weeks. Sadly, and contrary to popular belief, I do have a life and interests outside the Amiga realm.

Today I wanted to take a quick look at the recently released TwittAmiga V4.0 Twitter Client by Oliver Urbann for AmigaOS4 on X1000.

It's been a while since I updated the blog, and for that I must apologise. A house move, combined with being heavily involved in the organisation of a local beer festival has meant that my time at the computer has been limited.

Well, the move is complete and the beer festival has been and gone for another year, so this should mean I'll be able to devote more time to the blog once more.

Now, on with the Amiga news...

I read on various Amiga forums about a rival floppy drive emulator for the HxC floppy, called the Gotek floppy drive emulator. It is in reality a Cortex board, but flashed with the right firmware it can be used as a cheap Amiga floppy drive emulator on the Amiga 600 - I found a seller on Ebay selling a pre-flashed Gotek Amiga package with accessories and quickly bought it!
